Havent had a lot of time to work on rocks lately with work and fishing. Not sure when il finish them so i figured I'd post some that are close to being ready for the lot-o. After looking at these pictures I see some need to be reworked a bit. Anyways, here they are....

Maury Mountain Moss-

Mexican Rosetta lace -

Mexican Crazy Lace-

Palm root-

Tiger eye-

Locally collected pet wood-

North Ankara Plume Agate- not sure this will make it they polish ok. Forsee heavy undercutting....will find out sooner or later...

Locally collected unknowns-

Unknown, all from same slab-

Brazilian Agate-

And last one is also a Brazilian Agate. my brother is named Scott and he wanted me to make him a keychain. I dug thru my rocks looking for a suitable one and this popped out at me ..

Thanks for looking!

Really nice group of stones.

Love the Maury Mountain and the unknown moss agate right before the Brazilians. That "S" stone is super cool, too!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Hmmm fishing or rocks? Tough choice, but I think I’d have to go with the fishing as well. Plus you may find rocks while out there too.

Great group of cabs. I am partial to the "S", though. That'll make a great personalized key chain.

Thank you! I wish I knew what the unknown moss agate actually is. I've made few others from it but they look quite different that these. Takes good polish with no undercutting or hassles.
